- voltaireodactyl 3y agoAgreed, you’ve got it exactly. Their union is not demonized, but accurately described as the largest and most dangerous obstacle to actual police reform. Their pensions have never been in question in my lifetime, not even as a source of funds for the endless successful lawsuits against them. Their steadfast refusal to allow insight into statistics re office involved shootings means their training cannot be properly examined, nor altered in response to data. And the political leanings of the police as a whole remain unquestionably conservative. Glad to see others speaking up!
